//! Example: Insert geospatial data into a Hyper file
//!
//! This example demonstrates how to:
//! - Create a table with a geography column
//! - Insert geospatial data using WKT (Well-Known Text) format
//! - Use SQL CAST expressions to convert text to geography type
//! - Use column mappings for data transformation
//!
//! This is a Rust port of the C++ example `insert_geospatial_data_to_a_hyper_file.cpp`.
//!
//! Run with: cargo run -p hyperdb-api --example `insert_geospatial_data_to_a_hyper_file`
